    Does anyone have a parts list or know how the e brake linkage above the rear differential work? I replaced both e brake levers on each side into the drums. If I pull on both cable behind the drums it applies the e brake. When I pull the e brake in the cab the passager side only applies. The cable on the drivers side does not move. What can this be? thanks

    pictures of your rear axle will help.

    Is the driver side cable still attached to the swivel?

    Yes that is a special set up that needs to be free to move.

    The upper and lower pieces a shoulder bolt 2 bushings and a lock nut. there might be some flat washers as well.

    The lock nuts just needs on the bolt not tighten up tight.

    More likely just installed wrong.

    The nylon bushings should prevent it seizing . Even in the Sunny dry paradise of Long Guyland.

    Yes, tomorrow morning. The arms at each drum were changed today. drivers side was seized. they move great now. the cable on the drivers side is the issue now.
